Configuring Incapsula WAF
For log collection, we need the API ID and API Key to authenticate Incapsula WAF through API. No other device configurations are required.
Prerequisite: Need a user in the device which has Reader role assigned.
Log in to your my.imperva.com account.
On the sidebar, Navigate to Management > Users > Add User.
The account administrator or any user with the appropriate permissions can add a new user to the account.
When a new user is created in an account, a verification mail is sent to the email address listed for the user, with a cc to the account admin.
The new user clicks the link in the email to verify their address and set a login password.
Note: If the sites live under the sub-accounts, you will have to add the user at the sub-account level.
How to generate API ID and API Key of Reader user?
